How Net Zero Can Save New England Homeowners Thousands of Dollars

My wife and I live in a relatively new (2008), modest (2,000 ft2), colonial-style home in southern New Hampshire. It has three bedrooms, a full basement (common in New England), and a walk-up attic, which we turned into a couple of home offices. This last feature is what made us purchase this particular home over the others we had viewed, while the fact that it was a certified Energy Star home (with a HERS score of 67) was not nearly as important.
